Lost Global due to new quitting system and internet connection.

Chris, tell us what iPod version you use and what OS. I may be able to help. Also, there's an update
coming, so get ready for some points, they will come soon ;). By the way, I don't believe 23 points really change a lot. Looking at how many points you have, you should easily get them back!

If you play with a wired charger, your wifi will never drop. I played for up to an hour uninterrupted earlier today. This is apparently a bug in iPhone OS, where if you are running on a battery, the wifi connection will drop after small inactivity (think before/between songs online with long wait times).

Proximity to the router was irrelevant in my findings.

yup same thing that happened to me, i had 2110 points, then dropped 20 points after my internet went out on me. i was first from the beginning of the song, and was sure i would've got first at the end. but instead, i got dc and lost 20 points. i'll agree that if i get dc, it's my internet's problem, BUT i shouldn't be docked 20 points because of that... atleast make docking points to atmost 3 points because that's an average of how much i can get for placing first place in a song.

i don't mind losing points, but i do mind if it's 20 points for something stupid. 3 points for leaving is already discouraging enough if you ask me since sometimes it takes me atleast 3 games to earn 3 points.

btw i play right next to my computer and if my internet was to disconnect, i'd know it. but it was only my ipod that time

Its not a fixed amount that you lose. What ever in-game score you have right before you left (whether intentionally or not), that score is used at the end against everyone elses. So if you played a bunch of very low ranks and disconnected and they passed your score, you're bound to lose a lot.

Haha you guys don't even wanna know how much I've lost since this system was in place.

Instead of complaining just close out TTR2 after every 3 online games...that's what I do and I have not lost any pts since b/c of a crash!

Seriously guys...this new penalty system is needed...it sux u lose pts b/c of a crash but u know what...it's not fair to those of us who are playing this game fair and square only to have some of u guys leave mid game b/c ur afraid of losing a few pts b/c ur not as good as u thought.

No offense but you're going to have to get over it, the guys have said they're working on fixing the crashing issues with the next release...for now restart the game after every 3 gms...trust me it works!

As I said in my original response--play while plugged in, and if you still want to complain, send Apple a letter telling them to fix the moronic Wifi inactivity timer in iPhone OS while unplugged. This isn't a Tapulous issue.

The restarting every 2 or 3 songs is a VERY wise thing to do...you can't prevent crashes, but you can certainly do something about the iPod dropping your Wifi connection.

Before you say "oh you don't have any problems!" let me tell you I did get this problem before and paid dearly for it, until Ed and Zach pointed out the iPhone OS bug/malfunction/horrible design. Since then I have not dropped from a single game and my ranking has only skyrocketed even more ¦-]

*sigh*

I don't know if this is the same problem or a different one: The crashes are now occurring just as the song is about to begin, after it's loaded. I don't remember this problem until the most recent update. DX's fix doesn't work for this one, so I probably should have started a new topic, but I'm too lazy.

I'm starting to get good, and I can use every advantage. All the little problems that ruin my score are getting more and more annoying as I try to maintain a decent global ranking (you get used to wearing those stars, and you HATE to lose them).

Yeah, twice just now I sat and waited in the room for the game to start, then as soon as it did the app crashed. That is soo annoying to think I am going to be penalised for not doing anything wrong.
